Olympus Cameras, travels, my family and the outdoors

The last for awhile

I headed home sick from work early yesterday, but quickly felt better (I think the 3 hour nap helped settle things down a lot), which left plenty of time for scanning. I managed to get the 2 rolls done that had been sitting around, the final one from my backpacking trip and the one from Easter. So there are a slew of photos, but probably the last ones for awhile. Now that the recent backlog is done, its time to continue scanning my other backlog. At least I’ve gotten done back through September, that only leaves about 2 years of pictures and 80 rolls or so to scan. Maybe only another 6-9 months of scanning left *sigh*

This was basically the final picture before heading back through the Paw Paw tunnel to the car and home. It was a fun backpacking trip, but I’ll need to try and do a few things differently next time around.

Sadly these are my final Cherry blossom pictures of the year. One of these years I am hoping I can get in to DC to do some pictures of the Cherry Blossoms festival. Some year.

Running around at the Berlin, MD Easter Egg hunt. Jack had a lot of fun, but didn’t seem nearly as interested in putting them in his basket, or holding still for 2 seconds for a picture. That didn’t stop him from being adorable though.

Berlin, MD had a large street festival the day before Easter as well. Jack had a lot of fun, especially digging in the sand.

Then there was some Easter Egg hunting the following morning on Easter.

We all decorated some Eggs, Jack helped.

You can sort of see it in the back ground, but there was a beautiful Orchid that I had to take some pictures of as well. The final one is also thanks to my wife as she assisted; IE holding up my black jacket to create the background. I really need to get around to getting a square of black fleece or velvet to create backgrounds for macro pictures, and for that matter cobble up a holder for it.
